A couple of the heads on the pickup ring mounting screws on the Firebird I picked up recently were quite badly mangled, so given that I have some spares, I decided to take them out
Turns out that on one of them the screw thread is snapped off the head and still very much screwed into the guitar body and now flush - previous owner must have tacked it in place some how
It's no more than a couple of mm across, so I don't fancy my chances of super-gluing anything to it well enough to wind it out
Are there any tricks of the trade that might be helpful in me getting this sucker out, or am I going to have to drill it?
The answer was never 42 - it's 1/137 (..ish)

@ICBM - cheers - will have a stab at this at the weekend
It was a massive PITA, as the head was snapped off about 2mm below the guitar body, so I had to inprovise and make enough of a hole around the screw to get some pliers on
Thankfully all of this is hidden under the pickup ring
Plan is to fill and paint, so my next cry for help, is where do I find Cardinal Red touch up paint?
Dakota seems readily available and I’ve read they are very close - anyone got any experience with these two?p as a match?
